Goethe was just a little confused when he saw the mage, but after listening to the two guards' stories, Goethe's heart immediately rose to his throat. Something went wrong, something definitely went wrong!
Although it is normal to deliver materials and occasionally have people coming in and out, that person just now is not normal, very abnormal!
It wasn't that Goethe saw anything unusual about what he was transporting from the guard's description, but his attitude. Yes, his attitude was so good that it aroused Goethe's suspicion!
Although, the status of mages in the Hawke Empire is not as unattainable as that of Stoker. But a mage is a mage after all, and the guy just introduced himself as a member of the Palace Mage Association? With his status, how could he tolerate a soldier yelling at him? Even if you don't punish him for being rude, you will at least give him a few words of reprimand. But what did the mage do? Not only did he not show any anger, but he seemed to be asking for accommodation to please
Not only that, this mage also took out a bag of gold coins to bribe the guards. For such a good-tempered mage, let alone the Hawke Empire, I am afraid that the whole world will not be able to find another one with a lantern, right? Therefore, Goethe felt that something was strange when he was halfway through the words, but before he could take any action, a violent explosion occurred.
"Hurry in! Find Miss Yi Ni!" Goethe spit out a mouthful of blood. The impact of the iron door just now gave him a lot of physical trauma, and now it will take him a few seconds to recover. So Goethe could only scream at his two stunned idiots: "If there is anything wrong with Miss Yi Ni, I will kill you first!"
There was a hint of despair in Goethe's voice. After such a long time together, Goethe had basically figured out Regner's temperament.
Generally speaking, Regnar is a relatively easy person to get along with: he has no temper, no airs and is cheerful, not at all like what a superior person should be. But this is just a normal state. Goethe knows very well that there are a few people who are the villains that Regnar must not touch. If anything has anything to do with them, then Regnar will become another person, a terrifying person. exist. And among these people, there is no doubt that Inelis is included.
So Goethe understood if something went wrong with Inelise in his hands. Then Regnar in a rage might really kill himself. So before he was killed by Regnar, he had to kill these two idiot men who were backing him up.
"Yes!" The two guards came to their senses and hurriedly rushed into the laboratory.
…
Qadir was moving calmly in the chaotic room at this time. He is a Stoker spy who has been hiding in the Court Mage Association for a long time. He has always been hidden deeply. But recently, the empire finally gave him a task to destroy this research on the magic cannon.
Kadir saw an alchemist still struggling to crawl there. He smiled slightly and walked over.
"What a pity, Mr. Marventaire." Kadir smiled slightly: "I have received a lot of care from you before, so I will repay you today."
"You..." Before the old alchemist named Marvin Tell could finish his sentence, Kadir's ice flying knife directly stabbed his head, and the brain matter mixed with blood spattered out and stuck to Kadir. On the corner of your clothes.
Kadir didn't care. He took two more steps forward, and then two black figures suddenly appeared from the darkness. The two military intelligence agents who were originally guards returned to their old profession. They surrounded Kadir one after another, preparing to destroy his hands so that he could not cast spells.
But Kadir smiled coldly. He had been trained in the Stoke Empire for many years. Although he was a mage, he was also proficient in the art of sneak attack and assassination. The two Military Intelligence agents in front of them were only at level eight or nine. It was ridiculous to sneak attack a level 13 mage like him!
Kadir directly activated the protective force field on his ring. Although this force field was extremely fragile, it was enough as long as it could resist the initial attacks of these two guys.
The blades of the two Military Intelligence agents collided with the force field, and then the force field completely shattered like glass. But at this time Kadir also completed his spell. He pushed forward with both hands, and then the high-temperature flames released by the dragon's breath spell sprayed towards the assassin in front.
"Ah!" The poor agent let out a horrifying scream as soon as he came into contact with the flames. Immediately afterwards, Kadir stopped looking at him. He turned around before the assassin behind him approached him, and then the dragon's breath spell turned the assassin into a scorched corpse.
Kadir looked around, and then found Inelise lying on the ground, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.
"This girl... seems to have a lot of connection with Dark Elegy..." Kadir thought for a while, and then walked to the little girl's side.
He roughly tugged on Inelis' long golden hair and pulled her in front of him.
"She is a nice little girl." The dirty dust on Inelise's face gave her a pitiful look, and Kadir's eyes flashed with appreciation. But for an agent like him who has undergone countless ruthless training, beauty is simply a trivial thing. So, he put his hand on Inelise's throat, preparing to break the little girl's neck.
"Yini!!!"
A young man wearing black cloth armor rushed in with a roar. Behind him was a long sword with a black hilt and the sword body blocked behind him.
Kadir squinted his eyes and looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Who I thought it was, turns out to be the famous Lord Regnar of Dark Elegy!"
Regnar's eyes immediately turned red when he saw Inelise in Kadir's hand, and rage and murderous intent filled Regnar's mind. All he wanted now was to cut this guy into pieces, but the last trace of his remaining sanity reminded him that Inelise was still in that person's hands.
"Are you an assassin from the Stoke Empire?" Regnar asked coldly.
"You can guess this matter yourself." Kadir was noncommittal. Although the director of the Military Intelligence Department also rushed over, he did not feel that he was at the end of his rope. On the contrary, Inelis in his hands will become his greatest support, and Regnar will become his protective umbrella because of Inelis.
"Let her go." Regnar didn't say much nonsense.
"Of course." Kadir smiled, and then said easily: "However, all this will have to wait until I am completely safe. How about it, Lord Regnar? I know how important this little girl is to you. .So, use her life in exchange for mine. I think this deal should be a very good deal in your eyes, right?"
"..." Regnar remained silent.
"Are you still hesitating?" Kadir felt that Regnar's silence showed that he was hesitating, so he decided to say a few more words, then he would wisely choose to release himself.
"I'm just an unknown person." Kadir said: "At the same time, I have no grudges with you, so why should you take the risk of hurting this little girl for me? This is not worth it. thing. If she dies, you will be very heartbroken, right? And I promise, if you take another step forward here, I will break her neck. Please believe in my power. Although I am a mage, I will break her neck. This cute little guy has a very easy neck. How about it? It’s almost time for you to make a decision, right?”
Regnar gritted his teeth and looked at Kadir, but suddenly, all the expression on his face disappeared.
Regnar looked at Kadir calmly, and then asked, "Are you done?"
"If you promise me, then I'm done." Kadir smiled.
"Let her go." Regnar repeated what he said before.
"Of course, but it will have to wait until I am safe. Please trust my credibility, I can use the pointing technique to guarantee it." Kadir breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Regnar was ready to let him go.
"No." Regnar shook his head. He stared at Kadir and said, "You are dead today, but if you let her go, I will consider not torturing you. Make your own choice!"
"Do you have to let me drag this little girl to die with me?" Kadir's expression suddenly changed.
"She won't die. Only you will die." Regnar announced calmly.
"Brother..." Inelise also slowly opened her eyes. When she understood the current situation, Inelis did not cry, but just looked at Regna with her big green eyes.
There was no fear, no urgency, no anxiety in the eyes, but only emotion and trust. Because he is here, Enelise believes that no matter what the situation is, he will solve it. Because he was here, Inelise believed she was safe. Even though she was still being held by the neck by a strange man.
"Ini." Regnar finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Inelis waking up. It seemed that the explosion just now did not hurt her.
"Brother... you are here..." A smile appeared on the corner of Inelise's mouth. When she said this, she seemed to be welcoming her brother who had just returned home.
"I'm here." Regnar nodded. He focused his eyes on Kadir, but said word by word to Inelise: "Last time, I came late. But this time But no, I promised you that I will protect you. Believe me, brother, I will save you!"
"Yeah!" Inelis nodded slightly, then opened her eyes wide.
"Don't come over! Don't you care about her life or death?" Kadir finally panicked.
"I said it." Regnar continued to stare at Kadir and said, "I will save her, and I will never break my promise again!"
"Then let's die together!" Kadir finally understood. Regnar didn't want to negotiate any terms with him at all. He exerted himself desperately, preparing to break the little girl's neck before he died. Anyway, I have already killed a lot of alchemists from the Hawke Empire, so it seems worth it to have such a theoretical magic genius as my backing!
But things did not develop as Kadir imagined. The reason why Regnar talked so much with Kadir was because he was waiting for him to have a mental breakdown! And he was accurately grasping that moment!
Before Kadir's power could reach his arm, his right hand was completely separated from his body. Regna didn't know when he had come to his side, and the black blade was already in his hand. It was this weapon that cut Qadir's right arm open just now.
